As my mom used to tell me, back in the day, everyone was getting married in their 20s. You had your life, and it was pretty much mapped out.
Time is shifting for generations, and specifically for Gen Z, we are selfish. We still don’t know what we want in our life. While we figure it out, we figure out who to fit in after. That means money, career, and our self-worth first. Mental health is vital for this generation and feeling comfortable alone without needing someone else. The majority of the castmates lacked reality and needed to understand that it’s OK if everything isn’t happening now.
The real ages of the couples are in the air. Lauren says that Netflix changed her age to make her appear younger after posting on Instagram celebrating her 30th birthday.
Netflix responded by correcting the ages on the show:
Lauren Pounds, 29, and Nathan Ruggles, 30. Rae Williams, 24, and Zay Wilson, 25. Alexis Maloney, 25, and Hunter Parr, 28. April Marie, 23 — later turned 24 on the show, Jake Cunningham, 27. Shanique Imari, 24, and Randall Griffin, 26. Madlyn Ballatori, 24, and Colby Kissinger, 25.
